CHICAGO ‑ Healthcare engagement company PreparedHealth has announced a multi-year agreement with Encompass Home Health. With the agreement, Encompass will join the PreparedHealth’s enTouch network and activate DINA, a digital nursing assistant, to help care for its patient population. “We are excited to work with PreparedHealth and bring another unique technology to our clinicians, patients and families,” said Bud Langham, chief clinical officer at Encompass Home Health. “We believe DINA and enTouch will help us deliver more targeted interventions and better care coordination.” Encompass Home Health and Hospice operates in 28 states across the United States.
